Please note that
Canada Immigration photos require the Date Photo Was Taken on the back
of one of the photos. This is for you to mention when this photo was
taken. Onlinepassportphoto.com will NOT do this for you as we do not
know when the photo was actually taken. You will need to ask the photographer/person taking your photo to put his/her details on the back.

50 mm x 70 mm (2 inches wide x 2 ¾ inches long) and sized so the height of the face measures between 31 mm and 36 mm (1 ¼ inches and 1 7⁄16 inches) from chin to crown of head (Natural top of head)

clear, sharp and in focus

taken with a neutral facial expression (eyes open and clearly visible, mouth closed, no smiling)

taken with uniform lighting and not show shadows, glare or flash reflections

taken straight on, with face and shoulders centered and squared to the camera (i.e. the photographs must show the full front view of the person’s head and shoulders, showing full face centered in the middle of the photograph)

taken in front of a plain white background with a clear difference between the person’s face and the background. Photographs must reflect or represent natural skin tones

The two photos must:

show a full front view of the person’s head showing full face centred
in the middle of the photo;

be clear, well-defined and taken against a plain white background
without shadows;

be produced from the same unretouched film or from the same file
capturing the digital image or from two identical photos exposed simultaneously
by a split-image or multi-lens camera;

be original photos (not taken from any existing photo);

New: measure between 25 mm and 30 mm (1” and 1 1/5”) from chin to
crown (top of hair);

have a 35 mm x 45 mm (1 3/8? x 1 3/4?) finished size;

be on photographic paper that has a backing which accepts and retains
the date. Photos without this backing are not acceptable;

be on prints that are well-fixed and washed to prevent discolouration;

bear the date the photo was taken (not the date the photo was printed)
directly on the back of one print (stick-on labels are not acceptable).
